Co Clubs (I believe that’s their name) has a longstanding tradition of bringing quality nightlife to the “SoCo” (south of Colfax) corridor of Denver.  Club Vinyl and the Church have consistently featured not only incredible lights and sound, but also a constant stream of world class DJ’s (Tiesto, MSTRKRFT, Sasha, etc etc etc).
When I heard […]

At my very first job I remember my boss advising me that I would be wise to learn how to do more than one thing at a time.  This advise, like many other ideas passed down upon my youthful ears, I absorbed without question.  Now, I do the opposite, and I get more done.  With […]

I’ve always been a fan of Chipotle, especially considering thier Colorado roots.  Ever since discovering Qdoba’s downtown Denver happy hour madness however, I’ve become obsessed. 
I haven’t been to Chipotle in at least 2 months, which is probably a record for me.
How about you?

I found out about ‘Nabaztag’ after one of their Google ads appeared on UM.  How Nabaztag is considered ‘contextually relevent’ to our content is a mystery.
Not so mysterious? 
That pre-teen girls and gay men everywhere are shreiking with delight because of it.
Seriously though, gadgets like this are the future of the internet, and foreshadow a complete […]

If you laugh at this, you’re a pretty big web geek.

I’ve been hearing about the UMF off and on over the last few years.  My recruiter even shared a torrid tale of a debauched adventure there that included some crazy Oakenfold after-party.  Still, I never investigated it to any degree.
Leave it to long time UM ally and ultra kick-ass east coast photog Jess then to […]

This Saturday, March 29th, at 8pm local time, the World Wide Fund for Nature is asking us to turn our lights off and reduce electricity use for one hour.
It started with a question: How can we inspire people to take action on climate change?
The answer: Ask the people of Sydney to turn off their lights […]

I never thought I’d see the day when a desk got me all hot and bothered (who am I, Greg?!), but literally this thing gives me butterflies.
In my new place, space is at a how you say ‘premium’.
Heckler Design’s “OneLessDesk” with its 1.5′ collapsed footprint is almost 50% less than my current set up.
$899 seems […]

Don’t be that guy who uses any phrases that involve, “that guy.”

A report out of Tokyo about a new breed of robots designed to watch children is fascinating and freaky in equal parts.
The fascinating:

If parents want to leave their children with the kid-sized machine, they arrange for the youngsters to wear special badges that bear codes which the robot can read.
The robot can then identify the […]

With spring ushering in longer days and warmer weather, I’ve started looking to spend more time on my balcony.  Fantasies of drinking rich coffee, eating crisp garden salads, and sipping a glass of a big red wine preoccupy my mind.  Looking around though, I see that most people fortunate to have balconies keep them like […]

Belvedere Vodka just launched an innovative take on buying a round.  Go to “Buy Your Friend A Belvedere“, pre-pay for a drink, a code is sent to your friend, they redeem at a local bar.
I can see this being a life saver when last minute out-of-state-friend birthdays sneak up on me.
So far it looks like […]

If there’s one show Urban Monarch agrees on, its HBO’s Entourage.  Also from producer Mark Wahlberg, HBO added another series this year, In Treatment.  Filmed in one setting, this gives viewers the voyueristic opportunity to sit in on a therapist’s sessions.  The best part about it?  The first 15 episodes are available for free on […]

When I saw the Micron (on the always awesome ‘the oh so quiet show’) my first thought was it looks freaking cool, like something Disney would have dreamed up in 1955 for a world’s fair exhibit on toys of the future.
My next thought was:
“Daaaaang.  That would look swank in Greg’s uber-mod bachelor pad.”
It may look […]

One evening I was feeling like spending the night in for a change, so I decided to shell out $1.99 to give Amazon’s digital video rental and purchase system a trial. Just a few days after my first Unbox purchase of a House M.D. episode, I had downloaded the rest of the current […]

I just finished putting together a DJ set-up at my place.  The prospect of learning has me in an online music buying mood.  One thing I just can’t seem to get past is the notion of buying an entire album when I only really like a few tracks worth. 
 For some reason, that $8.99 or $9.99 […]

Some days my time slips away from me as I let my wandering mind lead me from one activity to the next.  Sitting idly in front of the computer or lazing in front of the TV, an urge comes and I follow it to the kitchen for a snack.  Later in the evening when pondering […]

Top 5 thoughts on the Justice show:
1. Justice are freaking rock stars.
The spine crushing barrage of dirty-sick distorted synths and military grade beats are one thing. The giant stack of Marshall amps flanking their set-up are another. The fact that Xavier de Rosnay had a cigarette dangling out of his mouth for […]

One of the best things about upgrading to a Mac (hopefully within a month or so!) will be the seamless upgrade of iTunes when new versions are released.  There have been SEVERAL window’s iTunes updates that have practically crashed my computer, given me general heart failure, and sent me scrambling to roll back.  This sometimes […]

Being in New Orleans I had an experience that I wasn’t accustomed to, a TV with cable that is turned on most of the time.  I got to know the commercials as they repeated everyday singing little jingles like, “Is it French? Or is it Italian?  Perhaps Fritalian!”
Oh how I did like that jam.  One […]

For Valentine’s Day this year I received a delightful little book by Edward Monkton.  The story, A Lovely Love Story, is about two dinosaurs that fall in love and overcome their displeasure with each others love of shopping and love of things.  I then fell in love immediately, with Edward Monkton that is.
Edward Monkton is […]
